Palermo tour 
A
revealing tour of the monuments that make Palermo the Baroque capital of western
Sicily
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The
tour starts with a visit of the Church of Casa Professa. It's interior
walls are entirely covered with colorful marble inlay from the 1600's. Then on
to the Quattro Canti which is at old Palermo's exact center: the four corners
of the buildings that form this octagonal square were decorated in 1617. Not far
from here is Palazzo Mirto, witness to how the city's aristocracy used
to live during and beyond the Baroque époque. All the original furniture
and decorations are still perfectly preserved. The tour ends at the Oratorio
del SS. Rosario and the Oratorio di Santa Cita. These two small churches
are the local sculptor Giacomo Serpotta's masterpieces: all the interior
walls are covered with beautiful stuccoes and statues from the end of the 1600's
and early 1700's. Some of the paintings are marvelous and they include one by
Anton Van Dyck. | | | Tour
